A chapter 11 plan cannot be sent to creditors until the court approves a disclosure statement. Chapter 11 is the most complicated type of bankruptcy and this question requires advice from an attorney who handles chapter 11 cases.

First of all, Chapter 11 is so complex that you should not ever file without counsel. If you did, you may have already made unfixable mistakes. Chapter 11 is so complex that less than 5% of bankruptcy attorneys have the expertise to do it. The fact that you filed with no clue as to deadlines (and they vary depending on the type of chapter 11) tells me how far over your head you already are. If you are a corporation you were required to have counsel. Even if you are not, you NEED counsel.

Chapter 11 is complicated and not something you should taken on yourself. You better see a lawyer. If you are confused and inquiring about a Chapter 13 plan.... see a lawyer because you are confused. This will not go well for you.

Up to 120 days. If you are doing your own Chapter 11 and asking this question, you are clearly unfamiliar with Chapter 11 and will run into bigger problems than you can deal with. You should have an attorney.

Ch.11 is made for corporate reorganizations. It can be used by individuals with too much debt to wualify for ch. 13. It's very expensive and very specialized, so you should see someone with experience with it for specifics.

There is no time limit on filing a plan in a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Generally Chapter 11 is for person with more than approx $1,000,000 in secured debt and/or more than approximately $350,000 in unsecured debt. Chapter 11 proceedings are very complex, and if you don't have $25,000 up front for fees you are very unlikely to find an attorney willing to handle it.
